Mr Ekwobi is everything you would want in a Consultant. His friendly, caring manor immediately put me at ease and led to me deciding he was the right choice for my surgeon. He took the time to carefully explore exactly what I wanted out of my procedure (breast augmentation). At no point did i feel rushed, with all discussions being focused around understanding what i wanted to achieve. As a 42 year old woman I wanted a natural look focused more on shape & positioning rather than just size, and this was exactly what I ended up with. On the day of my procedure Mr Ekwobi was there early and ready for my arrival, which was reassuring. He came back to see me immediately post op and again before discharge. I have just been back for my 2 week follow up and am really pleased with the results. I would be happy to recommend Mr Ekwobi to anyone thinking about breast augmentation.
